Forest Service Issues Permit to Person in DC

by Karin Zirk (kzirk [at] earthlink.net)
Forest Service issues Rainbow Gathering a Permit - application made in violation of federal law - applicant in Washington DC

In a very interesting twist of events, a woman
name Alison in Washington, DC has signed a permit
for the Annual Gathering of the Tribes now gearing up in the Modoc National Forest near Likely, California.

Sources say she has never been to a gathering before,
is not currently at this year's gathering, and was
pressured into signing by Radio Station owner Jeff Kline
- an individual with close connections to the US Forest Service.

Is the forest service so desperate to make it appear
that the Rainbow Gathering is in compliance that they
accept a permit application from an individual with no
connection to the gathering?

What next, a autocrat from Washington enters into
negotiations with the Forest Service for the local church picnic?

Tom Contreras of the Modoc National Forest withheld
information from attendees of the gathering that a permit
had been issued and that the US Forest Service Law Enforcement
officers threatened Jeff Kline with a shut down of the
gathering if he didn't pony up a signer.

Inquiring minds want to know.
